Not in this site (maybe) but there's a Filipino modeller who built his OV-10A Bronco with PAF markings. He has a site, the exact URL I dunno. Use google and search for OV-10 Bronco PAF decals. There's a company out there that sells OV-10A Bronco PAF decals, forgot the company name though.

I have an idea of doing one model for each branch of our armed forces and giving that model to them (in AFP markings of course), e.g. OV-10A Bronco for the 15th Strike Wing, LVTP-5 for the Philippine Marines, MD-520 Defender for another PAF unit, a UH-1 in PAF/PA markings, an F-5 in PAF markings, etc. etc.

yeh, V150...i remember that verlinden use to have it in resin... tapos kinopya namin ... pero it needs a lot work.. regarding sa planes my fellow member..from the now defunct SMCP(scale modelers club of the philippines)built a prop-plane (what was that plane?????...can somebody refresh me on that)

The P-51D the 'tora-tora'? I always thought it was a radial engined plane, not a piston (?) engined like the P-51. We had P-51s though before. Maybe the tora tora was the A-4 Skyraider? Or one of the WW2 carrier planes? Not sure. See, I'm no good with those winged thingys. :-)

I seem to recall an Italeri V-150. I'm not sure. Or maybe I got that mixed up with the LAV...

Or we could scratchbuild a Simba? :-) Head to Subic where they're assembled. I heard there's development of a stretched Simba. I dunno if that's true. Looking at the BRDM, one can use Dragon's BRDM as a base for the Simba - just slap sheet styrene all over it! :-) They have roughly the same dimensions.

Lattex - in case your interested, there's an Italeri 1:48 C-130 at Accurate Model Shop at Southmall. :-)

Blitz: Defense and ammo show in '92? Now you really hit my Memory Refresh button! I remember going to a Defense and ammo show in that time also. Early 90s. Was it done at Philcite or was it PTTC? Can't really recall the place but I remember going there with me dad - bugged him to go see it because I heard there were models there. Saw a few - mainly aircraft. Really small world.

Lattex - yup 1/48 C-130. No kidding. I forgot to check the price, though. Also huge is a PBY Catalina flying boat also at 1/48. I remember seeing a 1/48 AC-130 Spectre Gunship at the Ayala Museum years and years ago. Fantastic build. As for the F-86 Sabres, some are at Villamor Airbase at the musuem. In Subic - or Clark? - one can see an A-7 (or F-6?) Corsair II on a stand, gear up.

Wawa nmn Pinas...T_T

Bakit kaya wala tayong sariling weapons R&D projects? Import lang tayo ng import sa ibang bansa...At inaadopt lang natin yung mga methods nila..Wawa nmn tayo...

Wala rin tayong sariling armor - lahat parang adapted lang sa US...T_T

Sana nmn magka-budget tayo sa defense...Wala lang...Para astig...^_^ Atsaka kung magkaroon tayo ng weapons development eh malamang magkakaroon din ng mga models na Pilipino!

Yay!
